At the turn of the 20th century the rail network extended to over
23,000 miles, very nearly the circumference of the world - the
greatest length it was ever to achieve. Some urban routes had
closed and later, hundreds of rural lines and stations succumbed to
the Beeching axe. This title shows the network in its heyday before
the decline commenced.
222 pages with 62 total maps Locating original landowners in maps
has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family
Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners
(patent maps) in what is now Kosciusko County, Indiana, gleaned
from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it
offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there
are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and
a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many
historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to
help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a
person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The
combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of
American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods,
examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and
towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in
old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps
but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps
show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the
federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin
near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's

252 pages with 77 total maps Locating original landowners in maps
has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family
Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners
(patent maps) in what is now Marion County, Mississippi, gleaned
from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it
offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there
are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and
a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many
historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to
help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a
person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The
combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of
American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods,
examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and
towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in
old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps
but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps
show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the
federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin
near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's
